If you have something you no longer want or need, consider swapping it, selling it or donating it.
It keeps the item from landfill and trash and enables someone else to use your item without having to buy brand new, thus extending the life of the item and minimizing trash ๐
There are places online you can go to do this:
www.Freecycle.org you can find groups in your direct area and swap there.
You can also search Yahoo Groups for various swaps, freecycling groups too.
For paper back swaps visit Paperbackswap.com
Also visit Craigslist and check for items in your area, along with same type of set up on BackPage, both have numerous large city listings and you can find nearly anything and everything there.
Visit iShareStuff.org to swap and share items.
I personally haven’t used this yet but have used the others.

I just signed up for Paperbackswap. Thanks for the tip. I have all these books I need to get rid of. (I’ve donated some to the library in the past)
